Sony Pictures Home Entertainment Selects Oct. 2 For The Home Entertainment Launch Of Director Stefano Sollima’s Sicario: Day Of The Soldado


DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment announced this past week that director Stefano Sollima’s Sicario: Day of the Soldado will be making its way to the home entertainment arena on Oct. 2 as a three-SKU product offering.

The ARR comes in at 95 days and summer box office receipts currently stand at $49.7 million.

Planned for release are DVD, Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack and 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack editions.  Best Buy has an exclusive SteelBook edition in the works as well.

CIA operatives Matt Graver (Josh Brolin) and Alejandro Gillick (Benicio del Toro) are back at work in a new plan to disrupt the cross-border drug trade with an elaborate plan to start a war between rival Mexican drug cartels.   It is especially urgent as one of the cartels aided a terrorist attack and so it is all-out war!

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph TribbeyThe plan is complicated and has lots of “moving parts,” so hell naturally breaks loose and everything quickly goes south … with Graver and Gillick suddenly finding themselves working at cross-purposes.   The film’s ending leaves open the possibility of further “Sicario” adventures.

Despite a production dust-up that saw Black Label Media move the release from Lionsgate to Sony Pictures, Sicario: Day of the Soldado delivers exactly what was promised, plenty of violence and intrigue.   The home entertainment launch will be just fine come Oct. 2.

Bonus features include a trio of featurettes — “From Film to Franchise: Continuing the Story,” “An Act of War: Making Sicario: Day of the Soldado” and “The Assassin and the Soldier: The Cast & Characters.”
